The VaultDaily Journal

Daily Journal

The anti-idea-leakage system. Every day gets a note. Every note has two voices.

What This Is

One file per day. Named YYYY-MM-DD.md and stored in the daily/ folder. This is the universal entry point for everything that happens in a day. There is no separate inbox. The daily note catches brain dumps, captures, links, screenshots, and everything else that needs a home.

The Two Halves

Every daily note has two distinct sections. One is yours. The other belongs to the agents.

SectionOwnerWhat It Contains
Human EntryYouYour space. Brain dumps, mood, quick captures, raw thoughts. Agents never edit this section.
Agent EntryThe teamTeam standup. Each of the 7 agents reports what they did, what they found, and what needs attention.

How a Note Gets Created

You run /dailyto start a session. The system creates today's note from a template, processes yesterday's unfinished captures, surfaces priorities from the task board, and opens up space for your brain dump. Agents analyze what you wrote and add their standup entries.

  1. /daily creates the note from the daily template
  2. Yesterday's unprocessed captures get surfaced
  3. Priorities from the task board are shown
  4. You brain dump whatever is on your mind
  5. Agents analyze and add their standup reports

Reflections

The daily cadence feeds into two recurring reflection cycles. Both run automatically and produce written output stored in daily/reflections/.
